  1. The worst and most irritating drivers out there from my pov are (this is ironic) driving Priuses or 3/4T diesel trucks. Fwiw I don't feel we should make vehicles easier to drive so people can be distracted or on their phones. Bring back manual steering, and three on the tree and let's see how well some of those mfrs can multitask.
  2. Yes there is. Global climate temperatures have been going up since the last ice age, in exact parallel with the increase in global population. We have too many people on this planet. This seems like an ideal time for a global pandemic to cull the herd.
  3. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/08/world/asia/afghanistan-trump-camp-david-taliban.html Camp David... Hmmm?
  4. Trump/My Pillow-Idiot will win a second term in 2028? that gives me plenty of time to pack and part with unnecessary assets who needs a vintage lawn mower and/or an old golden retriever? willing to make a package deal pm me
  5. was that completely necessary? watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub82Xb1C8os
  6. Sounds like the Fine Dining destination In MN, surpassed only slightly by Funkley which recently got a Dollar General. I kid as you know, and josh because I still own a vintage Swede-mobile but not a Curry Car. The Polestar (perfect for Poleack's like you) is a fantastic looking ride. On a side note, our niece is moving to Duluth for her freshman year next week. PM me your phone # in case she needs a flat tire changed or I need someone to alleviate some DH's inner skull pressure from the outside.
  7. we could have thrown $5.2T at Afghanistan and had the same result had we just purchased $412K worth the monkey bars and sent over some of our top gymnasts, then it's a whole other outcome
  8. what kind of hell hole do you live in where you only have Lil' Caesar's and Green Mill to choose from for pizza? please allow me to send the first $1 to your GoFundMe page. We're selling a rental on Friday, leaving some $ on the table but still making out in the long term. Going to rock both 2010's this winter from the trail five minutes from home because Textron sucks, and Afghanistan's trail system is a mess. A new Volvo? LMAO, does it come with a 3/36K supply of curry and a Cobra flute? Please tell me it's all electric... Eh, we differ on this a bit but your wife and I have a mutual agreement on what is to be exchanged over the pit coat and crocs when you finally succumb to the Delta variant. She's a tough negotiator, but probably wouldn't last in Kabul.
  9. LOL... no, he's just the current tenant of an existing mess left by multiple POTUS's, but you already know that. maybe the best thing to do would be to make their own country safer, more prosperous and/or more attractive to them. it worked in Afghanistan! wait... precisely what is the 'new situation' at the border? do you live down there and have you witnessed it firsthand? is the Alamo in jeopardy again? frankly I'm more concerned about the Canadians keeping us out of a safe haven a few hours from where I reside. it doesn't just stop at the contractors, there's an entire generation (20?) years of people that only know some sense of civility and feel safe being 'free' due to our actions and tax-$'s, and we're utterly abandoning the majority of them to the hands of people who desire to live in the 14th century. I recognize a failed state when I see it, but there's no reason we couldn't support a successful state with in a failed state as a safe haven. How many years did we have a presence in Japan and Germany? There's a disconnect here I haven't quite sorted out yet, but I'm not an elected official. Hmong? WI too, I saw firsthand how the ignorant treated them locally having no idea what role they played in Viet Nam. It's a sad chapter in our recent history from my POV. The shit that is going to go down in Afghanistan (I sincerely hope I'm wrong) under Sharia law is going to be downright barbaric, and wrong. Surely we had better options to end this for the betterment of the Afghan people, but we're too busy, wrapped up in our own 'first world' troubles of Chick-Fil'a, harassing flight attendants and hand wringing over the 'free' 2024 election cycle. sorry... didn't mean to go off on you specifically, just fed up with... well, people who have misplaced priorities in this country.
  10. LOL right? Spent some time chatting with a good friend (who also got that screen shot) when I got home from work as we enjoy solving all the problems on the world stage over the phone over a few beers, he literally LOL'd at the end of your conversation over your comment when I read it to him. When we got down to the meat and potatoes of what's fucked up (today) on this planet and in this nation we were both appalled and dismayed by what is going on in Afghanistan, the US with Delta (or as he calls it - stage 1.5), the lunacy in Madison, and the overwhelming lack of leadership and competent candidates for office locally, statewide and nationally and both vented ranted for an hour we got down to our own problems, he's having contractor/insurance issues replacing brazilian cherry hardwood flooring in his kitchen for less than $30K and I'm dealing with a tilt/trim issue on my outboard and sorting out our teenage daughter juggling swim team, performing in a musical production and going to Costa Rica in spring, then we ranted about some other first world shit. I won the conversation though when I brought us both back down to earth when he wanted to carry on about all of what's wrong with the world and I reminded him that neither of us had to lose sleep about our daughters being taken as a prize for a Taliban freedom fighter tonight, being beaten with a thick gauge cable for not wearing an appropriate beard, burka (mask) or dress, or falling off a military transport planes landing gear as it attempts to leave the only airspace we've known our entire lives. In a nutshell, at times it's good for all of us to put our first world 'problems' into perspective and figure out a way to get along.
  11. LOL, right... Lack of good costumes... I give them 7 out of 10 for that. He's (Biden) is not 'my boy' by any means, but you're god dammed delusional if you believe a guy 8 months into his administration 'owns' the problems at the Mexican border, and Afghanistan has literally/figuratively been a perpetual football passed through an assortment of administrations thighs and improperly handled to the current QB. If the mess in Afghanistan was so simple to resolve, why didn't Trump OR Obama get it handled? On the bright side, you have one team to rally around, and equal voting rights to Ariana Grande'
  12. Unless the chassis or rack mounting was fd up, or the mechanical connection to the rack wasn't properly connected there's no reason it should come out. What kind of truck are we discussing, in your 'outboard' thread?
  13. With prior generations I might agree, but we've collectively pussified multiple generations of anglos. It's not about skin tone with me, it's more about the willingness to accept the results of our poor actions or inactions which leads me to believe that as a society we're hurdling towards even more troubling times. This of course all began with an entire generation of kids that weren't spanked for being naughty. Way to go Boomer's!
  14. Fear not, we're going to be minority in a decade or so and then you can demand the same treatment. I for one look forward to my Irish potato famine reparation payments.
  15. We're facing a similar scenario to the Greeks and Romans. Wait, is that the crappy pizza place? Nevermind...
  16. unlike you fat lazy 'freedumb fighters'
  17. It's our own damned fault https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/08/afghanistan-your-fault/619769/ And sadly, they don't have the will to fight for their country. I feel horribly for the women there. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2021/08/the-talibans-return-is-awful-for-women-in-afghanistan/619765/
  18. Kabul, as Chicago sports fans are worse than any Sharia law spouting Taliban member.
  19. I'm reasonably empathetic and understanding about most issues, but now the "words matter" applies to criminals? Rufucking kidding me? What did we call them before we called them inmates?
  20. Have you ever been to Madison? I have some liberal friends that consider Madison too liberal.
  21. Madison Wisconsin 77 square miles surrounded by reality This is Madison-level stupidity
  22. Did you check with Rib Mountain Marine? On the tie rod, yes. Was the jamb nut loose or missing?
